Thank you for scheduling an appointment to have your cat treated with radioiodine at our facility. In an effort to ensure the optimal treatment experience for both you and your cat, please observe the following instructions.

1.) In general we request that you please discontinue methimazole (Tapazole) administration for 1 week before your cat’s appointment. However, cats with severe thyroid hormone elevations (T4 > 20 µg/dl) or cats on chronic (> 1 year) methimazole therapy for hyperthyroidism may suffer significant cardiovascular decompensation upon withdrawal of methimazole. To avoid the potential for possibly life threatening cardiovascular decompensation, cats managed with methimazole in excess of 1 year, or cats with total T4 levels in excess of 20 µg/dl should discontinue methimazole administration only 1 day prior to their appointment for radioiodine therapy. If your cat is currently taking a diuretic (e.g. furosemide) for symptoms of congestive heart failure, please consult with your DVM before discontinuing methimazole administration. Most medications other than methimazole should be continued up until admission for radioiodine therapy. All adjustments in patient medication should be made under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian familiar with the care of hyperthyroidism and its potential complications.

2.) If your cat is on other medications that you want us to administer to her during her hospitalization for radioiodine therapy, please bring these medications with you. Please provide any medications you want us to administer in their original, labeled prescription vials as provided to you by your veterinarian or the pharmacy that filled the prescription. This will ensure that the correct medication and dosage are administered. We do NOT administer medications provided in plastic baggies, zip lock bags or other similar containers. Please do not bring dietary supplements to add to your cat’s food as these can decrease palatability and result in reduced food consumption during her stay with us. You can resume administration of any dietary supplements once your cat is back at home.

3.) If your referring veterinarian provided you with copies of current laboratory results or diagnostic imaging studies (including radiographs or ultrasounds) for your cat, please bring these with you to your cat's admission appointment.

4.) If you have questions regarding your cat's treatment and want to get additional information before your appointment, please visit our web page. You may find the following link useful:

5.) Small personal items including cat toys and blankets may be provided for us to include in your cat's cat cottage. Please be advised that these items will not be returned to you at discharge.*please note that we cannot accept large items such as pet beds, or stuffed animals due to space restrictions.
